don’t fuck with smash Melee players
I have that exact TV in 34". About 90kg/200 pounds
I used to have a 27" set. Probably weighed about 150 lbs. It had bowed the platform on the entertainment center. I wish I hadn’t got rid of it. Those things fetch a pretty penny these days. Old games just look fantastic on a CRT.
I have that television… it’s accurate.
Those Sony WEGAs were bananas. Mine weighed 99lbs. I remember.
The good ones had built-in handles.
Gotta lift those with the screen to your body my man. This gives you a slightly greater chance of surviving stepping on the cord as you waddle it.
And now I’m having PTSD Flashbacks of moving that fucker upstairs
I had one until about 10 years ago. I was moving and planning to take it with me, but I dropped it on the way to the truck. So it went in the dumpster.
We had a skateboard we used to move that heavy sonofabitch around. Lan parties were different.
yeah, after helping the 3rd guy with moving his gaming rig (those big towers were not lightweight too, some of them were heavy like they were made of lead) to the LAN i normally tapped out and let the others cover the rest.
Relatable. I literally have a bad back because of trying to solo move an old TV in the 90s
Second only to a black hole
Shit. I had a Zenith Space Command up into 2004 or so. It started smoking so we decided it was time to replace it.
Google that shit. It almost killed my friend helping move it.
I had a 55 inch TV that I bought in 2005 right before flat screens became common. Thing was so heavy it was on wheels.
When it finally died, I used it as a TV stand for my TV.
Back in the days of my apprenticeship (Ausbildung) the company still had this whole storage of old CRT TVs. At some point the other apprentice and me had to get rid of all of them. This meant each of us grabbing one, carry it down 3 floors, load them onto the company’s VW T bus and unload at the recycling center.
No fun, one was so big and heavy I tripped and couldn’t get it off my myself. In hindsight I dont’t think this was within safety regulations, haha.
This reminds me of that episode of Seinfeld where they get a guy they know a massive TV as an engagement present but he breaks up before they get to see it in action
